Okay, this is a bit bizarre...but this guy hasn't really moved since I first saw it a few days ago. Either that, or it keeps returning to the same place.   Enchenopa latipes,Geotagged,Summer,United States,Wide-footed Treehopper


      I don't know why, but it hasn't moved in a couple of days. It looks like a thorn on the side of this plant!
